'Verse - Sapient Species - Cor'ara

Cor'ara is a species not native to the world of Arca. On Arca, they were often called "Beautiful Jewels" because of their ritually-implanted crystals on their bodies.

In appearance, the Cor'aran race is considered the most mystifying and beautiful race. They are a true hermaphrodite. Each Cor'aran is capable of being pregnant or being the inseminator. They have dark violet skin and very cold opalescence eyes. The appearance of their irises are faint but noted to look like steel and/or platinum. They have very excellent sight, enhanced further with an additional rune crystal on their body.

The Cor'arans have ears similar shape to Elv'i, however, the difference is notable. The ear lobes are longer and is swept back towards the top-back of their skulls and forming a ridged mound on the back. Each ear on both sides has three ear canals in each side. The two of three canals were noted to be receptors for the normal range of hearing and echolocation. The role for the third ear canal remains a mystery.

Sexually, they are similar to bees with "queen" and "workers" traits. Each Cor'aran could only have up to ten children at a time (Usually becoming fertile again within 10 years).

They live in a very egalitarian and tribal society. They worship a single hermaphroditic supreme deity and multitudes of lesser deities. Most religious observation is done in public ceremonies.
